Career Fairs for Students and New Grads in Canada

106 upcoming Updated

About these events

These are the upcoming career fairs and job fairs in Canada whose organizers say they welcome students and new grads. Some are held just for students and new grads; others are open to everyone and make a point of including them. Each listing links to the organizer's page, where you can check who can attend and how to register.

Tips before you go

  • Know your co-op or internship dates and your graduation date. Employers will ask.
  • Bring a copy of your transcript, in case an employer asks for one.
  • Ask about new-graduate programs, co-op terms and when applications open. Many close months before the start date.
  • Tell your campus career centre which employers you met. They often know about info sessions and deadlines.
  • Send a short thank-you email within 24 hours to each person you spoke with, and mention something from your conversation.
